I'm from Anderson hospital in today's radio show. I'd like to say something about here. Hair is the most noticeable part of a person, but some people have little or no hair on their heads. For most people, this is mainly because of family history. Medical problems and stress can also lead to no, so here everyone loses hair. In fact, a person loses around fifty to one hundred hairs every single day. As you lose a number of hairs every day, your body produces more to take the place of the ones you've lost. When someone begins to lose hair, his or her body doesn't produce enough hairs to take the place of the last ones. Anyone can have hair loss, so if you want to keep your hair on your head, treat IT well. You should avoid hair styles that pour your hair to tight and stay away from high heat hair styling tools.

During his time living independently, he developed a passion for cooking, focusing on meals rich in meat, fat, starches, garlic, and spices. While his brother enjoys these dinners, my husband and I quietly add roasted vegetables to balance our diet. Mostly, we’re grateful that someone else is cooking and that the food is delicious. At his age, I had never lived on my own. My grandmother and mother controlled the kitchen, and my one attempt at cooking a family meal ended badly, leaving my grandmother sick for days. Determined to do things differently, I encouraged my children to use the kitchen independently, hoping they would grow up enjoying cooking rather than fearing it as I had. It worked. My youngest son is now a passionate and careful cook, though the kitchen is always a mess after he’s done. To keep him company, I recently offered to be his sous-chef while he prepared another amazing meal. This also gave me a precious opportunity to spend time with him, as hanging out with parents is no longer his priority. As we cooked together, he directed me with requests like, “Can you crack a couple of eggs into a bowl?” and “Please stir the sugar and rice vinegar.” After each task, I responded with, “Yes, Chef!” Over time, I realized that every “Yes, Chef!” was my way of saying, “I love you.” When the family sat down to eat, I praised his cooking, and he quietly replied, “Thank you, sous-chef.” That simple response was all the comfort I needed. 24. How does the author feel about her son’s cooking most of the time? A. Appreciative of his effort. B. Frustrated by the mess. C. Concerned about his diet. D. Critical of his techniques. 25. What inspired the author to allow her children to cook independently? A. Her grandmother’s death. B. Her family members’ advice. C. Her children’s determination. D. Her own childhood experience. 26. Why did the author want to act as her son’s sous-chef? A. To teach him kitchen skills. B. To keep the kitchen organized. C. To discourage his cooking passion. D. To strengthen parent-child relationship. 27. What does the phrase “Yes, Chef!” symbolize for the author? A. Her love for her son. B. Her respect for her son’s cooking. C. Her expectations of her son. D. Her joy in having meals prepared. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者鼓励孩子独立做饭，孩子喜欢做饭并且很用心，作者很欣慰，并且通过与孩子一起做饭，增进了亲子关系。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Mostly, we’re grateful that someone else is cooking and that the food is delicious.(大多数时候，我们都很感激有人在做饭，而且饭菜很美味。)”可推知，作者大多数时候都很感激儿子做的饭。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At his age, I had never lived on my own. My grandmother and mother controlled the kitchen, and my one attempt at cooking a family meal ended badly, leaving my grandmother sick for days. Determined to do things differently, I encouraged my children to use the kitchen independently, hoping they would grow up enjoying cooking rather than fearing it as I had.(在他这个年纪，我从未独自生活过。我的祖母和母亲掌管着厨房，有一次我尝试做一顿家庭餐，结果很糟糕，让我的祖母病了好几天。我决心做些不同的事情，我鼓励我的孩子们独立使用厨房，希望他们长大后能喜欢烹饪，而不是像我一样害怕烹饪。)”可知，作者自己童年的经历促使她允许孩子们独立做饭。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To keep him company, I recently offered to be his sous-chef while he prepared another amazing meal. This also gave me a precious opportunity to spend time with him, as hanging out with parents is no longer his priority.(为了陪伴他，最近他准备做另一顿美味的饭菜时，我主动提出做他的副厨。这也给了我一个宝贵的机会和他共度时光，因为和父母在一起不再是他优先考虑的事情。)”可知，作者想担任儿子的副厨是为了加强亲子关系。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Over time, I realized that every “Yes, Chef!” was my way of saying, “I love you.”(随着时间的推移，我意识到每次回答“是的，厨师！”都是我在说“我爱你”。)”可知，“是的，厨师！”对于作者来说象征着她对儿子的爱。故选A。 C Whether you want to assess your hormone (荷尔蒙) levels or heart health, find out why you’re tired all the time or get a general wellness profile, increasing numbers of at-home self-testing tools are promising to help. Often, these are marketed as a flexible way of taking control of your personal health. Self-diagnosis tests are flooding the market. “Many consumers are using them because they’re accessible, because it can take weeks to get a doctor’s appointment, and they might be denied the test they want,” says Patti Shih, a sociologist. Although some self-tests might be useful, there are a range of problems associated with using them, such as lack of medical guidance. Doctors will look at a patient’s medical history and assess symptoms before deciding on the appropriate method of diagnosis. They will also follow up and interpret any results. But with self-testing, all of that may be missing. Others might give accurate results but still won’t be particularly helpful. Even some of them aren’t backed by science. For example, some companies market saliva (唾液) tests as a way to detect hormonal issues. However, scientific evidence shows that saliva tests are not reliable, as they do not account for the complex interactions between hormones in the body. Shih has been studying YouTube influencers who promote self-diagnosis. Her concerns include misleading information, the risk of over-testing, and that self-testing may lead to unnecessary use of non-evidence-based supplements and treatments that carry health risks. “Perhaps most concerning are the cancer self-tests being marketed and sold in the US. These claim to detect over 50 types of cancer before symptoms have occurred.” she added. Largely thanks to advances in diagnostic technology and digital health, in the US alone, sales of direct-to-consumer tests increased from $15 million in 2010 to $1.15 billion in 2022. Self-testing isn’t likely to go away, so experts are calling for better regulation and for patients to have clearer information about when testing is recommended and when it is not. 28. Why do people choose self-testing tools? A. They can assess hormone levels accurately. B. They can replace professional medical advice. C. They are effective in controlling disease process. D. They are superior in availability and flexibility. 29. What do the third and fourth paragraphs mainly discuss? A. The wide popularity of self-testing. B. Some failed cases about self-testing. C. The associated problems of self-testing. D. Some scientific doubts about self-testing. 30. What is Shih’s biggest concern? A. Misuse of untested supplements. B. Promotion of so-called cancer self-tests. C. Misleading information from sales markets. D. Hidden risks of too much self-testing at home. 31. What suggestion do the experts give for self-testing? A. Self-testing should be managed intensively. B. Consumers should stop self-testing immediately. C. Companies should tackle all problems in diagnostic technology. D. The government should make self-testing affordable to consumers. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自测工具的流行原因、存在问题及专家对其监管和使用的建议。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Often, these are marketed as a flexible way of taking control of your personal health.(通常，这些被宣传为一种灵活的方式，让人们能够掌控自己的个人健康状况)”和第二段中“Many consumers are using them because they’re accessible, because it can take weeks to get a doctor’s appointment, and they might be denied the test they want(许多消费者正在使用这些（自我检测工具），因为它们容易获得，还因为要预约看医生可能得等上好几个星期，而且他们想要做的检查可能还会被拒绝)”可知，人们选择自我检测工具是因为它们在可获得性和灵活性方面有优势。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Although some self-tests might be useful, there are a range of problems associated with using them, such as lack of medical guidance.(尽管一些自我检测可能是有用的，但使用它们仍存在一系列问题，比如缺乏医疗指导)”和第四段中“Others might give accurate results but still won’t be particularly helpful. Even some of them aren’t backed by science.(其他一些自我检测可能会得出准确的结果，但仍然不会特别有帮助。甚至其中一些自我检测还没有科学依据)” 可知，这两段主要讨论的是自我检测相关的问题。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Perhaps most concerning are the cancer self-tests being marketed and sold in the US. These claim to detect over 50 types of cancer before symptoms have occurred.(或许最令人担忧的是在美国市场上销售的癌症自测产品。这些产品声称能够在症状出现之前检测出50多种癌症)” 可知，Shih最担心的是在美国销售的所谓癌症自我检测。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Self-testing isn’t likely to go away, so experts are calling for better regulation and for patients to have clearer information about when testing is recommended and when it is not.(自我测试不太可能消失，因此专家呼吁加强监管，让患者更清楚地了解何时应该进行测试，何时不应该进行测试)”可推知，专家们建议对自我测试进行严格管理。故选A。 D In a smart piece of rebranding, what used to be known as “second-hand”, “used” or perhaps even “junk” has now become recycled. Ikea is the latest to jump on the bandwagon. The Swedish furniture giant said it was rolling out its second-hand marketplace for recycled furniture across Spain and Norway after successful trials in Madrid and Oslo, and if that works, it may soon be expanded globally. Other companies such as Zara and Lego are also offering second-hand marketplaces. More may join them. The recycled economy is booming and it’s easy to understand why. Customers care much more about sustainability than they used to and recycling is a lot better for the environment than fast fashion. It’s typically a lot cheaper, enabling people to buy things they would not be able to afford. And for retailers, it makes sense to keep customers on their website for second-hand stuff. However, there are two big problems. To start with, the recycled market is typically limited to very high-quality products. The other trouble is that the recycled market is not likely to prove as lucrative as companies and investors seem to think it will be. With shipping and returns to pay for it, it’s going to be hard to make significant profits. Plus, anything from Ikea or Zara was pretty cheap to begin with, so by the time you reduce the price for the second-hand version, it is selling for next to nothing. Next people don’t want to pay as much for “recycled” furniture or clothes as they do for an item that is being loved for the very first time. Otherwise, you might as well just buy the new one. What we’re looking at here is a small market and nothing more. The recycled market may be getting a lot more love than it deserves if some effective measures are taken. 32. Why does the recycled economy come to its spring era? A. Fast fashion trend has been out of date. B. Luxury brands are less fascinating than before. C. Customers can afford to buy brand-new furniture. D. Recycled products are sustainable and budget-friendly. 33. What does the underlined word “lucrative” probably mean? A. Advanced. B. Profitable. C. Competitive. D. Appealing. 34. What will the follow-up paragraph probably talk about? A. The development of the recycled market. B. The measures to improve the recycled market. C The necessity of expanding recycled goods range. D. The advantages of buying new furniture and clothes. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The origin of “recycled” concept. B. The importance of sustainability. C. The boom in “recycled” goods. D. The decline of “recycled” markets. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了循环经济正在蓬勃发展，分析了其原因以及存在的问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The recycled economy is booming and it’s easy to understand why. Customers care much more about sustainability than they used to and recycling is a lot better for the environment than fast fashion. It’s typically a lot cheaper, enabling people to buy things they would not be able to afford. (循环经济正在蓬勃发展，原因很容易理解。与过去相比，顾客更关心可持续性，而且回收利用比快速时尚对环境更有利。它通常要便宜得多，让人们能够买到他们买不起的东西。)”可知，循环经济迎来了它的黄金时代是因为回收产品既可持续又经济实惠。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“With shipping and returns to pay for it, it’s going to be hard to make significant profits. Plus, anything from Ikea or Zara was pretty cheap to begin with, so by the time you reduce the price for the second-hand version, it is selling for next to nothing. (考虑到运费和退货费用，很难获得可观的利润。此外，宜家或Zara的任何东西一开始都很便宜，所以当你降低二手版本的价格时，它几乎一文不值。)”可知，回收市场不太可能像公司和投资者认为的那样有利可图。由此可知，lucrative意为“有利可图的”。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The recycled market may be getting a lot more love than it deserves if some effective measures are taken. (如果采取一些有效措施，回收市场可能会得到比它应得的更多的关注。)”可推知，接下来的段落可能会讨论改善循环市场的措施。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a smart piece of rebranding, what used to be known as “second-hand”, “used” or perhaps even “junk” has now become recycled. Ikea is the latest to jump on the bandwagon. The Swedish furniture giant said it was rolling out its second-hand marketplace for recycled furniture across Spain and Norway after successful trials in Madrid and Oslo, and if that works, it may soon be expanded globally. Other companies such as Zara and Lego are also offering second-hand marketplaces. More may join them. (在一场巧妙的品牌重塑中，过去被称为“二手”、“旧货”甚至“垃圾”的东西现在已经变成了回收品。宜家是最新加入这一潮流的公司。这家瑞典家具巨头表示，在马德里和奥斯陆成功试验后，它将在西班牙和挪威推出回收家具的二手市场，如果成功，它可能很快就会在全球推广。Zara和乐高(Lego)等其他公司也提供了二手市场。可能会有更多的公司加入他们。)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要说明了循环经济正在蓬勃发展，分析了其原因以及存在的问题。可知，C选项““回收”商品的繁荣”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As an international student studying in the United States, internships (实习) should be a top priority.

The most anticipated event, the 4x100-meter relay race, was about to start. Tim, a passionate and athletic student, was part of his class’s relay team. Along with his teammates—Mark, Jack and Alex, he had trained intensively for weeks, nurturing high hopes of winning the gold medal. The atmosphere was electric as the runners took their positions. The starting gun fired, and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning, his powerful strides eating up the track. He smoothly handed the baton(接力棒)to Jack. Jack sprinted(冲刺)ahead with all his might, skillfully maintaining their lead. Then, it was Tim’s turn. As Jack approached at top speed, Tim reached out eagerly for the baton. But in his over-enthusiasm, he miscalculated the distance, and to his horror, the baton dropped to the ground. Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton, his heart pounding. He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward, but the precious seconds lost had put them behind the other teams. Alex did his absolute best in the final leg, pushing himself to the limit, but they ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place, narrowly missing out on the medals. The disappointment on the team’s faces was obvious. Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on his shoulders. He couldn’t bring himself to look at his teammates, consumed by guilt. He replayed the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind, each time wishing he could turn back the clock. Mark, usually the most talkative, was silent, his eyes downcast(低垂的). Jack shook his head in frustration, muttering something under his breath. Alex just looked at the ground, his shoulders low. Without a word, they started walking back to the changing room, leaving Tim alone on the track, filled with self-blame. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Mark Jack, and Alex appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. He couldn’t help but blame himself for the failure. As he sat on the edge of the track, tears of frustration welled up in his eyes. He thought about all the hard work and dedication they had put into training, and how it had all seemed to be in vain because of his one moment of carelessness. He wondered if his teammates would ever forgive him, and if he would ever be able to make up for what he had done. Just then, Mark, Jack, and Alex appeared. They walked up to Tim and sat down beside him. Mark placed a comforting hand on Tim’s shoulder and said, “Hey, it’s not your fault. These things happen.

B After four years at university, my 21-year-old son returned home and continued his online studies. During his time living independently, he developed a passion for cooking, focusing on meals rich in meat, fat, starches, garlic, and spices. While his brother enjoys these dinners, my husband and I quietly add roasted vegetables to balance our diet. Mostly, we’re grateful that someone else is cooking and that the food is delicious. At his age, I had never lived on my own. My grandmother and mother controlled the kitchen, and my one attempt at cooking a family meal ended badly, leaving my grandmother sick for days. Determined to do things differently, I encouraged my children to use the kitchen independently, hoping they would grow up enjoying cooking rather than fearing it as I had. It worked. My youngest son is now a passionate and careful cook, though the kitchen is always a mess after he’s done. To keep him company, I recently offered to be his sous-chef while he prepared another amazing meal. This also gave me a precious opportunity to spend time with him, as hanging out with parents is no longer his priority. As we cooked together, he directed me with requests like, “Can you crack a couple of eggs into a bowl?” and “Please stir the sugar and rice vinegar.” After each task, I responded with, “Yes, Chef!” Over time, I realized that every “Yes, Chef!” was my way of saying, “I love you.” When the family sat down to eat, I praised his cooking, and he quietly replied, “Thank you, sous-chef.” That simple response was all the comfort I needed. 24. How does the author feel about her son’s cooking most of the time? A. Appreciative of his effort. B. Frustrated by the mess. C. Concerned about his diet. D. Critical of his techniques. 25. What inspired the author to allow her children to cook independently? A. Her grandmother’s death. B. Her family members’ advice. C. Her children’s determination. D. Her own childhood experience. 26. Why did the author want to act as her son’s sous-chef? A. To teach him kitchen skills. B. To keep the kitchen organized. C. To discourage his cooking passion. D. To strengthen parent-child relationship. 27. What does the phrase “Yes, Chef!” symbolize for the author? A. Her love for her son. B. Her respect for her son’s cooking. C. Her expectations of her son. D. Her joy in having meals prepared. C Whether you want to assess your hormone (荷尔蒙) levels or heart health, find out why you’re tired all the time or get a general wellness profile, increasing numbers of at-home self-testing tools are promising to help. Often, these are marketed as a flexible way of taking control of your personal health. Self-diagnosis tests are flooding the market. “Many consumers are using them because they’re accessible, because it can take weeks to get a doctor’s appointment, and they might be denied the test they want,” says Patti Shih, a sociologist. Although some self-tests might be useful, there are a range of problems associated with using them, such as lack of medical guidance. Doctors will look at a patient’s medical history and assess symptoms before deciding on the appropriate method of diagnosis. They will also follow up and interpret any results. But with self-testing, all of that may be missing. Others might give accurate results but still won’t be particularly helpful. Even some of them aren’t backed by science. For example, some companies market saliva (唾液) tests as a way to detect hormonal issues. However, scientific evidence shows that saliva tests are not reliable, as they do not account for the complex interactions between hormones in the body. Shih has been studying YouTube influencers who promote self-diagnosis. Her concerns include misleading information, the risk of over-testing, and that self-testing may lead to unnecessary use of non-evidence-based supplements and treatments that carry health risks. “Perhaps most concerning are the cancer self-tests being marketed and sold in the US. These claim to detect over 50 types of cancer before symptoms have occurred.” she added. Largely thanks to advances in diagnostic technology and digital health, in the US alone, sales of direct-to-consumer tests increased from $15 million in 2010 to $1.15 billion in 2022. Self-testing isn’t likely to go away, so experts are calling for better regulation and for patients to have clearer information about when testing is recommended and when it is not. 28. Why do people choose self-testing tools? A. They can assess hormone levels accurately. B. They can replace professional medical advice. C. They are effective in controlling disease process. D. They are superior in availability and flexibility. 29. What do the third and fourth paragraphs mainly discuss? A. The wide popularity of self-testing. B. Some failed cases about self-testing. C. The associated problems of self-testing. D. Some scientific doubts about self-testing. 30. What is Shih’s biggest concern? A. Misuse of untested supplements. B. Promotion of so-called cancer self-tests. C. Misleading information from sales markets. D. Hidden risks of too much self-testing at home. 31. What suggestion do the experts give for self-testing? A. Self-testing should be managed intensively. B. Consumers should stop self-testing immediately. C. Companies should tackle all problems in diagnostic technology. D. The government should make self-testing affordable to consumers. D In a smart piece of rebranding, what used to be known as “second-hand”, “used” or perhaps even “junk” has now become recycled. Ikea is the latest to jump on the bandwagon. The Swedish furniture giant said it was rolling out its second-hand marketplace for recycled furniture across Spain and Norway after successful trials in Madrid and Oslo, and if that works, it may soon be expanded globally. Other companies such as Zara and Lego are also offering second-hand marketplaces. More may join them. The recycled economy is booming and it’s easy to understand why. Customers care much more about sustainability than they used to and recycling is a lot better for the environment than fast fashion. It’s typically a lot cheaper, enabling people to buy things they would not be able to afford. And for retailers, it makes sense to keep customers on their website for second-hand stuff. However, there are two big problems. To start with, the recycled market is typically limited to very high-quality products. The other trouble is that the recycled market is not likely to prove as lucrative as companies and investors seem to think it will be. With shipping and returns to pay for it, it’s going to be hard to make significant profits. Plus, anything from Ikea or Zara was pretty cheap to begin with, so by the time you reduce the price for the second-hand version, it is selling for next to nothing. Next people don’t want to pay as much for “recycled” furniture or clothes as they do for an item that is being loved for the very first time. Otherwise, you might as well just buy the new one. What we’re looking at here is a small market and nothing more. The recycled market may be getting a lot more love than it deserves if some effective measures are taken. 32. Why does the recycled economy come to its spring era? A. Fast fashion trend has been out of date. B. Luxury brands are less fascinating than before. C. Customers can afford to buy brand-new furniture. D. Recycled products are sustainable and budget-friendly. 33. What does the underlined word “lucrative” probably mean? A. Advanced. B. Profitable. C. Competitive. D. Appealing. 34. What will the follow-up paragraph probably talk about? A. The development of the recycled market. B. The measures to improve the recycled market. C. The necessity of expanding recycled goods range. D. The advantages of buying new furniture and clothes. 35 Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The origin of “recycled” concept. B. The importance of sustainability. C. The boom in “recycled” goods. D. The decline of “recycled” markets. 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As an international student studying in the United States, internships (实习) should be a top priority.

The most anticipated event, the 4x100-meter relay race, was about to start. Tim, a passionate and athletic student, was part of his class’s relay team. Along with his teammates—Mark, Jack and Alex, he had trained intensively for weeks, nurturing high hopes of winning the gold medal. The atmosphere was electric as the runners took their positions. The starting gun fired and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning, his powerful strides eating up the track. He smoothly handed the baton(接力棒)to Jack. Jack sprinted(冲刺)ahead with all his might, skillfully maintaining their lead. Then, it was Tim’s turn. As Jack approached at top speed, Tim reached out eagerly for the baton. But in his over-enthusiasm, he miscalculated the distance, and to his horror, the baton dropped to the ground. Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton, his heart pounding. He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward, but the precious seconds lost had put them behind the other teams. Alex did his absolute best in the final leg, pushing himself to the limit, but they ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place, narrowly missing out on the medals. The disappointment on the team’s faces was obvious. Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on his shoulders. He couldn’t bring himself to look at his teammates, consumed by guilt. He replayed the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind, each time wishing he could turn back the clock. Mark, usually the most talkative, was silent, his eyes downcast(低垂的). Jack shook his head in frustration, muttering something under his breath. Alex just looked at the ground, his shoulders low. Without a word, they started walking back to the changing room, leaving Tim alone on the track, filled with self-blame. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Mark Jack, and Alex appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
